What Are You Playing Right Now? (Gaming Thread)

Yeah see I try to play it where I don't exploit stuff that makes it impossible for the zombies to threaten you.

But they do need to improve the horde nights so they are less buggy.... weird when they end prematurely.... then you wait around for 2 hours.... then the rando wandering horde or something shows up after 6am when the blood moon is gone.

i found the exploits through play. i didnt do them on purpose. buttz after discovering them, i cant ignore they exist. technically, out running the horde on a bike isnt an exploit imo.. its a strategy and a smart one in a sense... minimal wasted resources.. no one says you have to fight...

I ended up playing through roughly 5 hours of Vampyr. It isn’t terrible, but it’s underwhelming. The graphics are kind of ass. I’m playing it on a One X and I think this is something that could be run on a 360/ps3. I’ve also noticed several times where they fucked up the subtitles. Each case was nothing major, just a single word. It just isn’t professional and shows a lack of attention to detail in some areas.

Been playing that Civil War game again... trying to play a genuine hard campaign.

Idk why but in some RTS games I get very perfectionist instead of treating war like war.... you lose assets and need to continually be building more.

Instead I sometimes play a game where I want to win every battle making all the right decisions.

I AM NEVER WRONG

Ultimate General: Civil War

The best Civil War campaign/RTS game I've ever played.

I have been playing Lords of the Realm II for the last two days.... Talk about a throwback.

I find this very disappointing. The game looked promising. There's no reason for shitty graphics in this era of gaming.

I'm getting deep into Uncharted 4 right now. I am late as shit to the party cause I played through the first 3 Uncharted games over the last year or so.

But holy ****, this game is amazing. Just an incredible achievement.

Playing God of War and then Uncharted 4 back to back is getting me all pissed off at the rest of the gaming industry. When you see what is possible, it is hard to not get jaded and bitter about the studios that pump out the same re-skinned, unfinished and uninspired shit year after year.

I’ve had uncharted 4 sitting on a shelf I played for a few months now. I’m going to have to give it a try one of these weekends. I did play uncharted 3 a few years ago. If you have played 3 before how would you compare the two?

thanks for the reminder. aint much i want to play though.. i waste time grinding through titan quest. i am on the final act of legendary though. so me self tourture is almost over.. i had wanted to check out grim dawn but after going through this game ova and ova.. i think i may need a no game break fer awhile.. unless you got any recommendations for some non thinking mind numbing fast paced action..

been playing vampyr. There's some great ideas there and its a decent game, but I think there are the makings for a great game underneath it all but they just didnt execute it well enough. its a passable game built around some great ideas on paper.

im enjoying it though. the writing is very good and each character has their own unique personality. and they do a very good job of painting even the shittiest seeming people in a grey light. it also has some solid mood/atmosphere. i just wish the gameplay came together better, that it felt more like a cohesive whole. its hard to explain but something just seems to be missing.

as for the graphics, they arent the greatest but they arent terrible, but that might be do to playing it on pc maxed out.

I highly recommend both of those games... you'll need a controller, though.

And if you don't like it, you can get a refund as long as you play under 2 hours and return it within 2 weeks. It's no hassle, and I've done it multiple times.

Quake Champions is free on Steam. The only catch is that you have to download it by June 25, and you have to install it and play one match. Also, it's an early access game, so there may be bugs.
